Since the first time i heard Sedosa and MediaNoche i've been obsessed. Many months later, i can hear it in my head for no particular reason, and i ended up listening to the full Eikasia album. It's been on a loop ever since. For me that's the sign of a great songwriter. Criminally underrated, i'm about to dive in on the other albums, i have a feeling i won't regret it at all
f2bacon what cables? My eyes were glued to his hands and occasionally his face. Every time I see one of these two dudes, my brain deactivates and can only perceive whatever they’re doing
I have watched/listened to this 3 times minimum per day for weeks now. I love everything about this recording. Javier Reyes is my favorite all around guitarist right now.
Javier Tosin and Matt have all got to be musicians of this generation. I can not get over how individually talented each one is in their own rights and how well they mesh together...
Javier is the reason I want an 8 string guitar, not to djent but to play things like this, I get instant goosebumps whenever I hear anything from Mestis
Mestis is one of the best prog bands in the history of prog. I have been a huge fan of them since 2015, when the first release came out. You can hear what Javier brings to the table in AAL, in all of the music of Mestis. Tosin Abasi is an AMAZING guitar player, BUUUUUUUUUUUT AAL is nothing without Javier!
The slight slide/tremolo thing that he does at 0:53 makes my brain burst in satisfaction. I don't know why, but the subtlety and sophistication that it conveys to me is out of this world, plus the fact that it makes it sound more vivid, organic, than the studio version. Javier Reyes is an amazing musician! Thank you Javier Reyes!!!
Is there anything that Tosin, Javier, or Matt touch that doesn't turn to gold? Like, damn... they continue to challenge ME as a listener to broaden my horizons, which is really something. It's one thing to "play a range of styles," but these 3 guys, whether together, solo, or part of collaborations with other musicians... I can't even really put it into words. I'm not sure there's a genre of music that I wouldn't want to hear these fellas play, because I know they would absolutely crush it.
I'll be honest this kind of stuff here is what makes me want to play extended range guitars. Dont get me wrong I love metal I always will but I love the versatility of 7 and 8 string guitars
this man is
C R I M I N A L L Y
underrated.
xsonicassassinx He has his own signature ESP guitars. Can’t be that underrated.
@@afterstars He kinda gets overlooked because of Tosin
That's only the fault of people not taking an interest and his humility.
I fucking love Eikasia! One of my favorite albums for sure.
is he though? there's dozens of super elite guitarists on youtube with 10 views
Everybody talks about Tosin, but man Javier got's some music in those fingers eh...two of the best, killer track too :)
They are quite the duo
@@bodabodaguy3193 yes they be that
Animals wouldn't be who they are without any of the members. Similar to Rush one guy is always underrated. Lol
Takes a village
Tosin has said in interviews that Javier's classical style was a big influence on him hence why they collaborated for AaL
The finish on that ESP is gorgeous.
Its amazing. I can't seem to find where to get one with that finish though.
@@christianfroude4504I'm sure it's custom. You can order any finish you can dream of basically. If you've got the money lol.
Beautiful peace. What a unique style Javier has!
"tremendous"

That pink larada is incredible looking
I like his esp better bit they'r all sick
@@oli_dall-r4112 Larado over esp bro
But yess... They're all sick
@@dyingfetus2483 yeah dude i just dont think it would look nice on me but the golden one is gorgeous
@@oli_dall-r4112 Agreed, I'm not an ESP guy but I would buy that one in heartbeat if I could only find it!
im proud of the comments section for not flipping out over cable management
f2bacon what cables? My eyes were glued to his hands and occasionally his face. Every time I see one of these two dudes, my brain deactivates and can only perceive whatever they’re doing
thanks baconhead now i cant unsee it >:/ sigh lol. just had to bring it up, huh?
now that you've mentioned it
nah i've seen worse
🙂 I didn't notice it. Now I can't unsee it. Why you do this bacon?
I love sensibility and creativity of this man, have a latin soul, he is a guitar master ever

Extremely talented, but only music nerds and the like dig it.
No market. Starving artists.

@@xxitz_pr0gxx631 mestís isn't a band though. It's just Javier, which just goes to show how amazing he is
@@underated5356 So he plays the drums? I didn't know that!
I enjoy this tune so much. Very incredible writing and playing.
Thank you for all your amazing music AAL team.
Goddamn, I love the harmonies in Mestís. Javier really is a huge contribution to every project he’s involved with
The slight slide/tremolo thing that he does at 0:53 makes my brain burst in satisfaction. I don't know why, but the subtlety and sophistication that it conveys to me is out of this world, plus the fact that it makes it sound more vivid, organic, than the studio version.
Javier Reyes is an amazing musician! Thank you Javier Reyes!!!
Yes...
Javier is such an inspirational player. He's got so much flavor
1 minute and 5 seconds... that second guitar riff devours my soul.
One half of the best guitar duo on the planet.
Tosin is an awesome player and javier and tosin compliment each other well I'm glad though to see javier get some much deserved love he deserves it.
Easily my favorite release from Javier. This ep was so smooth; each song just as good as the next. Every melody and rhythm like a breath of fresh air.
Sounds like the djent version of Africa
Hahahah I can't unhear it now
I heard it too
is Africa an album? if so, by who? I'm almost sure this is a long lost album I've been looking for for ages
Transmortify they’re talking about the song Africa by Toto
I was little when that Toto song came out. I thought the chorus was saying “I got some brains down in Africa” lol
1:26 - Toto Africa.
Sounds like Doin' It Right by Daft Punk to me
its the worse bit...haha...the rest is amazin
Hahah I jumped off my chair!
@@thesuncollective1475 L Take
Every time a video like this drops, I think it’s a new archetype at first
Such a complete guitarist. This whole piece is total masterclass!

Yeah I have to agree, Tosin and Javier are a match made in heaven, both amazing.
The drum track sounds amazing! Javier is the icing on the cake!!!
I wish it was an actual drummer instead of a computer tho. A human woulda given better dynamics.
@@XViTNg If I'm not wrong, the drummer should be Matt Gartska, flesh and bone
This man deserves more credit... Such an amazing player.
Javier is so slept on. Incredible guitarist
Amazing, please bring back TRAM as well!
Still waiting for tram
Can't tell you how many times this has been on loop. Muchas Gracias amigo.....this has truly touched mi corazon!!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I didn't check Javier before, when I listened to him recently I am amazed. So different, So good!
This makes me Happy so deep inside, i did not expect this. The Tone is just hugging me.
If I had a computer screen that big I could easily play that well too.
Its all in the chair actually
So true.
I don't think you know who this is....
@@mauricemotors8207 I dont think you know his CHAIR mate.
@@mauricemotors8207 Don't you know about a guy named Humour?
Simply beautiful.....such.modern equipment but music that touches the soul.... something oh so rare these days..... beautiful!!!!
This song really lifted my spirits up. I teared up watching this. You are a handsome man, and you find such great, creative tone.
This type of music is why the repeat button was invented.
Bro I swear I see you everywhere. You listen to metal like me and follow along of those Christian channels as well haha awesome.
@@midnighthymn nice to see black people listening to metal... Not being a douche it's just rear
P.S m black too
Nice profile picture man
Im a simple man. I see a fan of Oh, Sleeper and I like haha
@@joshuawhitley5819 bless your heart
I listen to this at least four times a day. This song is sexy AF
I need this to play 8 hours a day while I'm at work. Seriously talented group of individuals. Abasi plus Javier are savants of the guitar world.
Man I hope this guy gets some more recognition. An absolute master.
2:11 I made the exact same face when I heard that riff. It’s so good!
the energy of this nailing home studio is so elevating

*Javier* is definitely one of my influences in switching to an *8-string guitar* alongside *Tosin, Dino Cazares & of course the Meshuggah boys.*
This song is out of this world. Good stuff
PLEASE give us more Javier videos!!!
I’d love to see him perform either Media Noche or Gentle Giant, or maybe even Olvidala...
¡Esto es muy bueno Javier! eres muy versátil y creativo a la hora de componer. Saludos desde Chile.
This dudes playing is superb, smooth AF and just beautiful.
Nice little studio. Love this guy's writing and his guitars!
Just found this in 2024, amazing 💯🔥🔥
This playthrough & the one for Media Noche are getting me to seriously consider going out & picking up an 8 string haha
best decision i ever made. lol
Update: I've had an 8 string for about 6 months & can't put it down
@@maxwellholmes594 hell yeah! I started with 1 and now have 9 lol
@@kiyanharchegani2588 9 strings or 9 8 strings? 😂
I have been so tempted I got a 7 2 years ago and its sick but I want more chunk. probably a waste of money for me though atm
Picking is absolutely flawless
Very nice!
literally my favorite guitarist
This is history people. A song on Tosin's channel that you can tap your foot to without it cramping up.
I love how the kick and snare are strong on this version ! It makes the guitar riffs even more significants
Tosin, thank you for showing us your favourite guitar player.
Good lord, the beauty is breathtaking.
Couldn't agree more. Javier Reyes is way too underrated
Javier is amazing. One of my favorite artists of all time, for sure.
ERES EL MASTER !!!!!
Un saludo desde Mexico, Cancun.
Yo también soy de Cancún, saca el jam prro
Ya somos tres, que se arme algo.
Felices los cuatro?
This is better the original..... soulful is an understatement ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
My favorite tune from the album. Just incredible.
I'll be honest this kind of stuff here is what makes me want to play extended range guitars. Dont get me wrong I love metal I always will but I love the versatility of 7 and 8 string guitars
This song changed my life
eres toda una inspiración, Javier. ¡muy buen trabajo como siempre!
This soothes my soul!! Magnificent
Esto es precioso Javier. Saludos desde Escocia.
I love the snare in this song.
I mean, what to say about how freaking cool this room looks like those walls though... that tone too.. I mean.
Loving the pop of that snare and the tone.
Javier : Let's do a song
Drummer at 2:30 : No
aahahahaha!
A great song ruined at the end
Eric Moore yooo. A beast lol
@@hobbygrg-eudaimoniastudio calling it ruined is a disservice to the song
@@hobbygrg-eudaimoniastudio bro, I'm a drummer and I've always thought it too!
Probably my favourite Mestis song, awesome
Great sounds and a great studio space too
I must have played this video about 10 times just now. Great arrangement.
So beautiful. Amazing job Javier
More of this! This is incredible
Thank you AAL and Mestis for your music
that's a smooth tune right there. nice work Mr. Reyes
Nice attention to details placing a static night city landscape at the window.
Brother this is beautiful and amazing!
It's not right that he is not recognized more. Brilliant player.
I think he is ..check the comments
Those who don't are fools, I don't worry about that. ;)
An excellent piece. Javier is a great player
Javier so smooth brother effortless - so talented
Awesome. I really feel it. This is the kinda guitar music to gets to me. It makes me feel nostalgic.
Cannot believe how underrated Javier is
Saludos desde El Salvador Javier sos un gran musico!
Que puedo decir??? simplemente Hermoso!!! Y lo mejor de todo, es que entiendes mi mensaje :)
That guitar is stunning.
Very cool...I like the progression

Elegant and very tasteful, love it!
Es Todo Javier!!!! Translated, Daaaaamn!
This dude is seriously talented.

Viva Mestis ! Amazing song !
Amazing as always, Javier!!
Absolutely Beautiful! 🔥
In certain steps of life you need a specific music, i have times i need to listen only to Javier's music.
This is brilliant! Sounds great.

Those background guitars are touching the floor literally
